and to make sure Guy and Jonny aren't neglected throw......... a note saying: Get Busy, please.

lol. ^^ I could imagine him shouting that in the hospital.

IOW people: send some baby love and throw some booties up to Will and Chris onstage.

I like the diversity that both Gwyn and Chris have chosen in the naming.

oh definitely tongue and cheek. I dunno exactly where to. But he is pointing out the flaws and gaps in the bill and system. but the man has some legitimate points.

Happy Birthday To You! :glasses2::sunny::p

In Cleveland, he had some pretty hard core fans on the floor and near the stage, and he played up to them. They would shout out songs and he would play them. Someone yelled "play all night!" and he apologized for not being able to. The very dedicated were standing the whole time and he sang it out right to them! Very impressive opening act. I am a complete fan now. Loved his songs and loved his stage presence. Out of the 4 opening acts this tour. I would put him right up there. Black Mountain was not my taste. But I bopped along, seeing as I was front center on the rail in the pit. I just never saw their faces, too much hair! Rilo Kiley was sooooo great. I loved them. And wish I had been closer. The outdoor venue was practically empty and I wanted to run down to sing along with Portions for Foxes and It's a Hit. Fiona Apple was interesting, I listened more to her music after the fact and like it very much now. the live jazzy sound was intriguing.

Here at MSU, we have the daily State News. And I found this very interesting in the Opinion section. Read it through! Let me know what you think. Plan might work to fill menial U.S. jobs, deport uncooperative people http://www.statenews.com/dispmug.phtml?pk=5646 Steve Wojcikiewicz With debate raging in the U.S. Senate, I've taken it upon myself to come up with a fix for our nation's troubles with illegal immigrants. As I see it, there are two key parts to the dilemma. First, in this country there are a lot of difficult, unpleasant, sometimes dangerous and usually underpaid jobs that need to be filled. Second, there are about 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. who are doing these jobs. Any really good plan, then, would find a way to fill these jobs and to take care of the illegal immigration problem at the same time. Well, I've got a really good plan, and it doesn't involve making all illegal immigrants into felons or bringing in a bunch of foreign guest workers. The first part of the plan would be a new initiative called the Internal Guest Worker Program, or IGWP. The IGWP would be a sort of national service program in which every American would be required to work for two years in the sort of crappy jobs that illegal immigrants currently fill. Everybody — I mean everybody — would participate. I want to see Ivy League grads working the line in meat-packing plants, children of senators out in the fields of California, CEOs flipping burgers and millionaires schlepping boxes around warehouses. Even our leaders in Washington D.C. could participate. We've all seen pictures of President George W. Bush out on the ranch clearing brush, so I'm thinking he could try some landscaping. Dick Cheney could definitely work in a meat-packing plant, since he's such a big hunter and all. And Tom DeLay's nickname is "the hammer," so maybe he could try construction. He's not busy these days anyway. OK so far? Good. Now for the second part of my plan, the Un-Immigration Program, or UIP for short. The UIP would go along with the IGWP. The UIP would work via a simple process. The government would circulate a national questionnaire that asks, "Are you willing to work long hours at a potentially difficult, unpleasant, dangerous and underpaid job so that Americans can continue to live in the manner in which they are accustomed?" Anybody who gives the right answer ("yes") will be enrolled in the IGWP, as laid out above. Anybody who gives the wrong answer ("no") will be enrolled in the UIP. Enrollment in the UIP would mean immediate deportation. See? Simple and effective. These two programs will pretty much solve all our problems. First, the IGWP will make sure that the jobs that nobody wants will be filled. Second, when the UIP is through deporting the lazy and the uppity, the illegal immigrants who are already here can become citizens, since we'll have some extra room and some newly opened jobs. Of course, there will be difficulties. If we really get rid of all the people who don't want to work in the IGWP, we might have to deport a sizable number of our upper- and middle-class citizens. Sport-utility vehicle sales would plummet. Gated communities would be depopulated. Our national reputation for shameless consumption would take a major hit. Still, even these difficulties might be turned to good. When we ship these people out, we can send them to countries that are trying to build democratic governments — countries like, say, Iraq. These upper- and middle-class Americans could serve as role models, the living results of a free-market economy and government by the people. Iraqis would have a goal to aim for. Just think how inspirational this would be. This plan seems to have no downside. Then again, a lot of people might be upset once they start on their IGWP jobs. They might start complaining, asking for higher wages and better working conditions, making all kinds of trouble. I have to admit, I don't know what would happen then. We might just have to hope that IGWP workers will keep quiet, content in the knowledge that their sacrifices are for a good cause, the cause of maintaining the American standard of living. And if they won't keep quiet? Well, we could always deport them. Steve Wojcikiewicz is an educational psychology doctoral student. Contact him at [email protected].

" I love it when you call me Big Poppa" Somehow I think Will would use that more often.

Finally some decent weather around here puts me in the mood for Ladder to the Sun.

Exactly what I was thinking! Apple don't be jealous, you already had a duet with Daddy!

OMg! What a great name! If true.

Amazing work always from you! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Gwyn and Chris! Ahh I can't wait to see this little boy. Seriously, I am so much more excited to see if he mirrors Chris!!! They cut it close! Right after the tour ended.

I love you all!

Most photogenic band in the world. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THESE!

I think Chris has taken this report and decided to rebel. Therefore it explains the recent stripping of clothes at concerts.............:lol:

Can't get Crest of Waves outta my head!

ahh I love when all the classic Westenburg photos are re posted! Amazing amazing work!

:lol: uhh.... ME TOO! I would have jumped that barrier.

Fantastic tour! I am also very gloomy now that they are off to other parts of the globe, but it was soooooo good while it lasted. Those were the 4 best shows and will remember each differently for the unique parts that made it special for me. The 4 different opening acts made it even better! I just promised myself that if I could gather enough that I would fly to IOW. But that's a stretch right now. But I will be playing the lottery a lot more often. LOL. We should post our favorite moments from each concert in here!

Amazing! Really a brilliant event for them. The video is great! I was whimpering. And especially when Chris starts to undress. I think it's kind of symbolic. Did he throw his shoes and shirt to someone??? I freaking love these guys. thanks for all the pics too!

sexy to the max! I really like how the colors are reflected on the piano as well.

That is hilarious!:lol: Poor sound techs, too much action!:P

Great Review! I can't wait to see pics with the signs! and Will what a great guy! Getting a bit teary- eyed here. Bittersweet end for the tour. get som rest boys, you deserve it!
